1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This study aimed to provide evidence regarding the treatment of patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. We conducted a prospective single-arm phase II trial using the FOLFIRINOX regimen. After completing 4-8 cycles, patients underwent surgical resection when feasible. The primary endpoint was R0 resection rate. Fifteen patients were enrolled in this study. A median of six courses of FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy was administered, and a partial response or R0 resection was achieved in 26.7% and 33% of the patients, respectively. Severe adverse events due to chemotherapy and major surgical complications were observed in 33.3% and 6.7% of patients, respectively. The median overall survival of patients who underwent R0 resection or with R1 or unresectable disease was 47.8 months (95% confidence interval (CI), 22.5-73.1) or 14.5 months (95% CI, 11.8-17.2), respectively (P = 0.031). Well-selected patients with unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer treated with FOLFIRINOX achieved relatively high R0 resection rates and prolonged survival. Therefore, induction with FOLFIRINOX is feasible and well tolerated for locally advanced, initially unresectable pancreatic cancer and may be effective in facilitating R0 resection and prolonging survival.
